Isa Winski

Art Collect - Isa-Winski

Isa Winski is a contemporary painter who has been living in Villefranche-sur-Mer for about ten years. Born in 1967 in Paris into a family passionate about art, literature, and classical music, she grew up surrounded by museums, exhibitions, and artistic discoveries. Fascinated from childhood by Bernard Buffet and his sharp lines, Niki de Saint Phalle and her vibrant forms, Remedios Varo and her mystical surrealism, and Francis Bacon and his emotional turmoil, she learned early on to look into the soul of artworks.

At the age of twenty, a stay in London marked a turning point: Isa enrolled in evening drawing classes and, encouraged by a friend, submitted her work to the prestigious Saint Martin’s School of Art and Design. She was accepted, laying the first stones of a personal, sensory, and free artistic path.

A traveler at heart, she feels a vital need to break away from established frameworks. From the Amazon jungle to coastal villages, from oceans to Indigenous cultures, she explores the world as one explores the soul. A family voyage around the world by sailboat crystallized this inner quest for freedom, raw nature, and human and sensory connection.

“Inspiration is everywhere. A scent, a melody, an emotion — anything can become background, form, or gaze,” she confides. Her art reflects who she is: fluid, instinctive, deeply embodied. Isa Winski rejects labels; her style is at once pop, psychedelic, figurative, and abstract. She mainly paints with acrylic on canvas or wood, blending in sand, paper, ink, plaster, or pastel to enrich the textures. Each work becomes a field of forces, contrasts, and emotions. Music often accompanies her creative process, where gesture becomes dance and doubt a necessary passage.

“There’s always a moment when everything feels chaotic, when I’m not sure I’ll make it. That’s when I stop. I walk. I draw. And then I start again. It’s like in life — you have to step back to find your thread again.”

In Isa Winski’s work, the viewer’s gaze becomes a mirror — a colorful, tactile, dreamlike mirror. An invitation to dive into the matter of the world… and into one’s own.
